the Old Man and Sea

I read the novel The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway, and I admire the will of the old fisherman in the novel.He taught me that a person must have perseverance to succeed.

An old fisherman in Cuba named Sandiago went out to sea alone to catch fish. The old fisherman had not caught a fish for eighty-four days, and almost starved to death. However, he still refused to admit defeat, and filled with the spirit of struggle, he finally caught a marlin on the eighty-five days.The big fish dragged the boat to the sea, but the old man still held on. Even if there was no water, no food, no weapons, no assistants, he was not discouraged.After two days and nights, he finally killed the big fish and tied it to the side of the boat. But many small sharks immediately came to seize his booty; He killed them one by one, and finally there was only a broken tiller as a weapon.As a result, the big fish could not escape being eaten up. Finally, the old man dragged back a pair of fish bones exhausted.When he got home and lay in bed, he had to retrieve the good days from his dreams to forget the cruel reality.

My heart was deeply moved by his perseverance and tenacity. Although he did not bring back a complete fish, but that afternoon, people were amazed. What was that? Long and big white spine, with a huge tail at the end of the bone. Is there really such a big fish in the world?Who can believe that this big fish bone was brought back by an elderly man alone?Age, sea and destiny are all irresistible factors for the old man, but he wants to conquer and fight.The last fishbone is the old man's uncompromising attitude, not bowing his head and not giving in to defeat. Maybe this is the winner's attitude.

Judging from the fishing harvest, the old man seems to be a loser, because he brought back a useless fish bone, which can neither be eaten nor sold at a price. However, the existence of the fish skeleton is actually a symbol of the old man's unyielding character and tenacious perseverance, which witnessed how the old man struggled with the sea sharks. Bones are the backbone of the spirit. It also echoes a sentence at the end of the article. A person is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him as much as you can, that is, you can't defeat him. Because it is people's character and spirit that can't defeat. The body can be destroyed, but the spirit is eternal.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is to give in the failure. Once you give in, all your dreams will not come true.This is of great significance in real life. I think life is like an old man going out to sea to catch fish. He will face it bravely. Even if he does not succeed, he will not regret his life for not working hard. We will also be strong in life, and our life will be wonderful because of our efforts.
